Fotovision is a Bay Area nonprofit created to support photographers interested in documenting their world. Our mission is to advance documentary photography and storytelling. We do this through education, dialogue and community. Our vision is to inspire and enable positive change by creating a global photographic community that gives voice to the human condition. The curriculum is designed to span the various skills and techniques needed as a long-term, in-depth photo project is developed: fieldwork, editing, funding and marketing, book publishing, multi-media issues and more. We create opportunities for photographers to hear lectures by master photographers like Sebastião Salgado, James Nachtwey, Eugene Richards, Alex Webb and others.
In addition, we give Bay Area photographers and people interested in documentary the rare opportunity to study with these masters in small groups. Fotovision will do a couple of great one day classes in the fall. One class will be for people who just need a primer on getting out there, partnering with an NGO and guidelines for making a photo essay to promote a cause. The other class will be for people who want help getting their packets ready for submission to that competition or any other grant/contest. We will work with people individually to edit the work, the artist statement and resume.
